BOOJUM - CREATURE OF NORTH CAROLINA

The name of this hominid/humanoid was taken from Lewis Carroll's poem The Hunting of the Snark.  This is the story of the legendary creature and his bride, Hootin' Annie.  This name sounds suspiciously like the word hootenanny for a musical session.  This word in this sense is not recorded before 1940.  However, it was used earlier to mean a tool, an implement or something of the sort.
